John Hutton

John Hutton was the English ambassador to the Spanish Netherlands during the reign of King Henry VIII of England. In 1538, Thomas Cromwell ordered for Hutton to make inquiries about a new bride for King Henry, although Hutton admitted that this would be a hard task, as he did not have much experience with ladies. His efforts to impress Christina of Denmark failed, but he succeeded in negotiating Anne of Cleves' marriage to King Henry; this would ultimately lead to Cromwell's downfall.
